My gut tells me that we're working with Washington. But Morey's history suggests to expect the unexpected.
I know this is just a Wild-assed guess, but: Detroit frees up more cap space, Cleveland gets Hamilton... As for the Rox, they could do better. This is little better than just letting Tracy expire.
RealGM just takes blurb from everybody else and puts it on their website. Houston Chronicle, ESPN, etc Brian Windshort(sp?) is the source of this, and he's pretty in tune with anything Cavs.
The cavs and rockets seem to be popping up a lot in rumors, and I know is Mcgrady's contract they are trying to use in conjuntion with another team, but what if they are really after Tmac, and having someone take Ilguskas, then buy him out and the cavs pick him up. If Tmac is somewhat healthy and does put up some decent numbers, how good could the Cavs be? Could they be trying to pull a Morey on us and some other team?
So let me get this straight: hoopsworld, realgm, and yahoo are all garbage sources? Who can we trust almighty one? Please share your golden sources.
I don't like how everyone is so quick to kill the messenger on these threads. Everyone should really lighten up and just appreciate that people are bringing all the info out there into this forum so we don't have to track it all over the net. This forum has become very bitter lately. Not nearly the same group of posters as this time last year.
Clutch has forbidden anyone from quoting Hoopsworld. I never said anything about Yahoo. Adrian W is legit IMO.
The top 7 draft pick looks real sexy. If Morey does a good job of drafting, the new player could be better than Iggy or Butler. http://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2010/mockdraft
Rockets are a classy organization, don't be surprised if Battier ends up in his hometown of Detroit. For what Battier has done for the organization and the city of Houston, they would want to trade him to his hometown. He has stated in the past that he would like to return and play for Detroit. This probably has nothing to do with Tmac. That's my 2 cents.
Battier deserves a Ring. I hope he ends up on Cleveland if this was going down. Would be nice to see Battier lock down Kobe and Lebron just do what he wants on Artest.
